Arizona Cactus Bloom

This photo was taken the last week of March this year. Taken with a Nikon D7100 with the 18 - 140 zoom lens. Cactus blooms are beautiful, intricate, and delicate making them a challenging subject to photograph. This one was taken at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum near Superior, AZ. I think it is one of my best.

Jeff, this is a wonderful photograph. You captured the delicate qualities of the flower very well. The translucence of the petals is quite well done.

Beautifully captured. I like the softness of the petals in contrast to the spines of the cactus

Thanks for your kind comment. It is difficult to get much contrast of cactus flower petals. I think it is because they are very delicate and highly translucent. Have a GREAT DAY!
